IPL 2021: Predicting team-wise positions at the end of league stage in UAE
The standings of the teams at the end of the league stages of the 14th IPL season might vary when the tournament moves to the UAE.
5. Punjab Kings (PBKS)
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) once again flattered to deceive in the 2021 IPL season. The Punjab outfit could emerge triumphant in only 3 out of the 8 matches that they played in the tournament, and are placed 6th at the time of suspension.
Now, the Punjab side neither stands to gain nor does it stand to lose too much as well, if the tournament shifts to the UAE. The side produced an average performance last year in the UAE and finished at 6th place in the points table.
Another thing is, the Punjab side do not have the services of Dawid Malan, Number 1 T20I batsman, as he pulled out of the second leg due to the bubble fatigue. They will also miss Jhye Richardson and Riley Meredith even as the franchise has announced replacements for them. Punjab is likely to end the 2021 IPL season at 5th place.
